The details and reason for the alleged violent assault will drop your jaw.

Published January 28, 2019

The skeletons of proven sexual predator and R&B singer R. Kelly are continuing to fly out of the closet for 2019 following Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly docu-series exposé.

In less than a month, pressures are intensifying on the Pied Piper’s back as his industry-mates hit the mute button on him, his Sony label home departure leaves lingering questions, members of his former team rip the curtain back on more secrets of his most illicit affairs and police continue to zero in on his latest activities.

The latest secret tucked away in the dark depths of Kelly’s more recent past is now coming to light too and could rack up yet another charge over the Pied Piper’s head, as reported by TMZ.

In a violently jealous rage, Kelly allegedly brutally assaulted his former girlfriend Halle Calhoun in 2017, the site reports

Calhoun was 19 or 20 at the time, TMZ adds, and sources from her camp claim the attack went down backstage at one of his concerts. Kelly allegedly entered the backstage area to find her looking at another man, sparking a hotheaded altercation between the two. TMZ’s sources claim it was Calhoun who shoved him first when Kelly snatched her up by her clothes “around her neck” then hurled her entire body into a wall.

Several witnesses also watched it go down, the reported sources revealed…

Which include Joycelyn Savage and Azriel Clary, the two women currently connected to Kelly as victims in his alleged sex cult. This wouldn’t be the first time he’d physically attacked Calhoun either, sources reportedly told TMZ. In one of at least two other violent incidents, sources allegedly witnessed Kelly slap her for watching a group of men as they came into a hotel. Unsurprisingly, one of Kelly’s sources rebutted the allegations to TMZ, claiming that he’s not violent and should such instances have occurred, footage of it would have been on the market by now.

Neither Calhoun nor Kelly have yet to respond to existing reports of the allegations.
